The Great Bastion and the Red (Royal) Bastion in Bardejov

The Great Bastion is a five-storey bastion with a semicircular plan. Its weight extends over the space of the parkland into the moat. A wooden ochodza was built on the side away from the town, on the level of which stone brackets have been preserved. It is connected to the Red Bastion by a castle wall.

Red (Royal) Bastion is a three-storey bastion with a semicircular ground plan decorated with red squaring. It is open on the side away from the town. It strengthened the defence of the Lower Gate. Under the upper cornice, on the outer shell, the remains of the coat of arms of the town and the coat of arms of Hungary are preserved, which were painted in 1597 by the then richtár Leonard Glatz.
